Ways to Engage
Growth and change bring challenges, including traffic and congestion. We continuously explore new mobility options which prioritizes freedom of movement, mode choice, accessibility, and practicality for the public, government, and businesses. Effective transportation solutions encompass both micro and macro thinking beyond the major roadways into the deeper arterial streets right to the doorsteps of our residents.
WAYS FOR EMPLOYERS TO ENGAGE
Denver South offers current and prospective employers and employees a breadth of free services to evaluate, educate, and encourage commute behaviors beyond single-occupancy vehicles. These modes include transit, telework/hybrid-work, cycling, carpool/vanpool, compressed work-weeks or walking. There are multiple ways to engage with Denver South!

ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION TAX CREDIT
New for tax years 2023 and 2024, the State of Colorado will provide a refundable tax credit of 50% for employer expenses related to providing alternative transportation options to employees. The tax credit’s purposes are to increase the use of alternative transportation, reduce traffic congestion and improve our air quality.
The Denver South team can help you navigate this tax credit – learn more here.
DRCOG’S WAY TO GO / CARPOOL / VANPOOL MATCHING MAP
Not knowing who lives nearby is one of the biggest obstacles to forming new carpools or vanpools. Denver South will work with your organization’s HR department, to provide maps identifying potential carpool/vanpool matches. Then, we do the work for you, creating pre-written communication and hosting lunch-n-learns to bring these potential carpoolers together in partnership with Enterprise Vanpool!
